Chapter 740 Standing and Talking Don't Have Back Pain
PS: New week, ask for recommendation votes. Of course, the monthly pass is more important, so please support it.
At this time, Xingqiu no longer had the confidence he had before. Some things are like that, and it's wonderful when you think about it, but when you actually do it, you realize that it's really hard.
"Now you know it's hard." Wang Guan smiled: "I just hit a wall, and I started to retreat?" ”
"I didn't hold back, I just didn't know where to start." Xing Qiu sighed and said, "It's really not good to run around like a headless fly." ”
"It's good to know." Wang Guan asked rhetorically: "Where did you get your confidence before that?" ”
"Uh, haha......" Xing Qiu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Do you know anyone else, why don't you ask them again." ”
"I'm not familiar with this area, so it's nice to know one." Wang Guan shook his head and said, "Besides, it's the same with who to ask." Didn't you listen to Boss Ding, nine out of ten people in Yixing are looking for Azure Mud. Even if anyone has such a thing in their hands, it is estimated that they will be offered as an heirloom, how can they be willing to sell it to you. ”
"Of course, I also know that you have money, and you can use it to smash people. The problem is that there are many people who think the same way as you, but you can't find a target to spend your money on. While speaking, Wang Guan beckoned: "Let's go, go back." ”
"You're going to go back just now?" Xingqiu was stunned and said, "Isn't it early?" ”
"It's not going home, it's going back to the city." Wang Guan said angrily: "Go to the city to stay first, and then buy this local chronicle by the way." Dig through some information and see if you can find anything. ”
"Oh." Xing Qiu suddenly realized and hurriedly went to stop the car.
Soon after, the two returned to the city, found a good hotel to settle in, and then took out the local chronicle to look through. However, it is a pity that the historical evolution, human history, and places of interest in the book are mentioned a lot, and even the purple clay pot is specially written. But there is no clue of azure mud.
This is an inevitable thing, if you can find the azur mud by looking at the local chronicles, it is estimated that the people who compiled the local chronicles first dug up the azure mud. Therefore, Wang Guan was not disappointed and continued to read the information with relish. However, Xing Qiu noticed that he was looking at the traffic routes of various towns in Yixing, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "You plan to go to the mountains and go to the countryside?" ”
"Hmm." Wang nodded and said: "If you go to the countryside to dig a house, you have a greater chance of encountering good things." Of course, it must be harder, do you want to go? ”
"Nonsense, if I don't say no. I guess you'll have an excuse to go back. Xingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Go, you must go." I don't believe it, I can't find azure mud when I go over the mountains and mountains. ”
"It's normal to not be able to find it."
Wang Guan poured cold water and said: "Don't think that I can just think of going to the countryside to dig out a house, other people must be able to think of it, especially the local purple clay pot masters, they really go to the countryside all year round for a piece of good material." What we have to do now is hope that we will be lucky enough to pick up what is missing in their hands. ”
"It's so miserable." Xingqiu hesitated. Most of the enthusiasm was extinguished.
"Let's put it this way."
Wang Guan casually put down the local chronicle and said seriously: "Going to the countryside is not only hard, but also may not have any gains. It's completely an act of luck, if you don't want me to buy a high-quality purple clay pot and give it back. It is estimated that there is no interest in going to the countryside. So you have to think about it clearly, if you can't stand this sin, just give it up, so as not to complain about it halfway. ”
"Huh. Look down on me. Xing Qiu said confidently: "I often go to the mountains and the countryside, and I must have more experience than you." ”
"How?" Wang Guan was a little strange: "Not to mention your identity as a rich second generation, aren't you a big manager sitting in the office." How do you have time to go to the countryside? ”
"It's stocked." "Most of the chickens, ducks, geese and fish are stocked in the mountains of the countryside, and I have to go to inspect them every once in a while, and by the way, I have to negotiate breeding contracts with the villagers......
"Okay, I'll see tomorrow if what you say is true or not." Wang Guan smiled and continued to check the information.
This day was spent in the process of searching for information, and then the next morning, the two of them, who were neatly prepared, immediately drove their motorcycles to the countryside outside the city.
It's not that you can't rent a car, mainly on the roads in the countryside, or it's easier and faster to use a motorcycle. After all, there are many places in Yixing that belong to hilly areas, especially in relatively remote mountain villages, and cars can't drive into them at all. Even if you can drive in, the bumpy feeling is enough to kill people.
Therefore, motorcycles are the best choice, and they are relatively cheap, even if they fall apart, they will not be distressed.
Anyway, the two stumbled on the road, aiming at the more remote villages of Yixing. After all, in the vicinity of the city, it is unlikely that you will find a fish that has slipped through the net, so it is more practical to go a little farther and see.
At first, it was okay to take the national highway directly, but after officially going to the countryside, the road was not very smooth. Anyway, after tossing for an hour or two, the two of them came to the gathering place of several mountain villages.
Of course, remoteness does not mean remoteness. If it was really remote, Wang Guan didn't plan to go. After all, the road conditions are even worse in places that are too remote, and motorcycles can't drive into them at all, so they can only rely on foot.
Thinking about it carefully, Wang Guan felt that he did not have this perseverance. That's why I particularly admired the old-timers of the year, when I went to the countryside to dig out the house, I actually walked for two days and two nights, and after buying things, I carried the heavy objects home alone, and even my shoulders were sweating. Such an experience is also unimaginable for Wang Guan.
Of course, there is a reward for what you give. In the golden age of collecting, there was no such thing as a fake, as long as you were willing to sweat blood, there would always be a rich harvest. Anyway, as far as Wang Guan knows, most of the treasures in the hands of various big collectors were obtained by hard work during that period, and now they have become the object of envy of everyone.
However, I can only envy it. After all, there may be a lot of good things in the countryside now, but it also depends on luck. If you are lucky, you may meet a good baby, if you are unlucky, you will encounter a mine planted by your peers, it will be more tragic.
For example, Wang Guan is like this now, after entering the village, he asked someone to make a sound, and then under the guidance of a well-wisher, he came to a villager's house to check his old belongings.
However, after two glances. Wang Guan knew it in his heart, and then he began to frown, pretending not to like it. After picking and choosing for a moment, he finally shook his head and left the villager's house with Xingqiu.
At the same time, Xing Qiu asked curiously: "Although there is no azure mud, but I think that plate seems to be quite old, isn't it an antique?" ”
"Fake, deliberately old." Wang Guan sighed and said: "It seems that for the sake of profit, those people are really pervasive." Landmines are buried in even the most remote places. ”
"Laying mines?" Xing Qiu said inexplicably: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's a trap." Wang Guan said casually: "Don't you think that there are too many old objects in the villagers' homes?" ”
"Ah......h
Xing Qiu understood, and immediately frowned: "It turns out that going to the countryside to dig out a house will also encounter fakes." ”
"Normal, the city is risky, and you must be cautious when going to the countryside, this is the consensus in the industry."
Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "Laymen don't know about this situation, they think that things in the countryside are fine, and they buy them when they like them, and they think they have missed it, but they don't know that they are in the middle of people's hearts." ”
"Black. It's really dark. Xing Qiu sighed: "According to what you said, didn't we come for nothing?" ”
"Not necessarily." Wang Guan smiled: "There are still good things in the village, but it depends on whether you have this eyesight and whether you can see it." ”
"For example?" Xing Qiu said curiously.
"For example, the bench in that family just now should be made of more than 100-year-old mahogany." Wang Guan said casually: "You go and buy it." Take it home and ask someone to re-plane, and then go to Wudang Mountain Longhu Mountain and other avenues to peddle, you can definitely make a profit. ”
"Huh?"
Xing Qiu was stunned: "Then why don't you buy it?" ”
"It's too heavy to hold."
Wang Guan said calmly: "Besides." I don't want to deal with religious people right now......"
As they spoke, the two continued on to the next village. There were no landmines in that village, but old items from all the houses in the village. It has already been looted by other peers. There were some gadgets left, and Wang Guan was not interested, and there was no azure mud, so the two had to continue to shift their positions.
That's it, after running around for a day, the two of them didn't gain anything, so they had to go home empty-handed.
When they returned to the city hotel, it was already very late, and the two of them were so tired that they had no interest in talking, and after filling their stomachs perfunctorily, Wang Guan said with a tired face: "Are you going tomorrow?" ”
"Go." Xingqiu's expression was still firm: "There is no reason to give up halfway......
"Okay, let's go." Wang Guan nodded.
The next day, the two went to other villages and returned in the evening. However, it was slightly better than the first day, at least Wang Guan brought back one or two things, but he still didn't find Azure Mud.
After dinner, Wang Guan asked the same question again.
"Go on!" Xingqiu gave the same answer.
On the third day, dragging his heavy body back to the hotel, facing the same problem, Xingqiu's tone was no longer firm, but he felt that he could still persevere, so he continued to go out on the fourth day.
"How?"
“…… Let's look at the situation again! ”
This was the fifth day of conversation, and when they came back on the night of the sixth day, the two were not interested in talking at all, so they washed up casually after eating, and went to sleep directly.
When they got up on the morning of the seventh day, the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention going to the mountains and going to the countryside, but went to the teahouse next to the hotel to have breakfast, and by the way to study the problem of returning.
"You say, I just gave up like this, isn't it very unhelpful." Xing Qiu hesitated a little and said: "Is it considered a collapse of the middle way, and it fell short?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Wang Guan said lazily: "The word "falling short" is not suitable to describe you, people are falling short means that they are about to succeed, but they can't persevere, so they will fail." However, we don't even see a shadow of success, and it's wise to give up early. ”
"Yes, yes, but you are suspected of standing and talking without backache......" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
